Fiyero finally pulled the boat into the docks. He didn't look at Elphaba the whole rest of the trip, knowing that he needed to look mad...and he could only smile when he looked into her eyes. So when he boat finally docked, it took all the self-restraint he had not to grin at her as he turned and motioned as he yelled, "Well? Get off my boat!"

"I couldn't spend another second on this boat even if I wanted to!" Elphaba screamed it back, standing up and storming off of the boat, skirts swirling around her feet.

Galinda, who had been lurking at the docks all day with Pfanee, heard the screaming and popped up. Her plan couldn't already be working... could it?

Fiyero was taken back by her anger, and how believable it was. "Good! I don't know what I was thinking anyway! What a waste of my last day of spring break..." he tried to make it sound like he was muttering it, but made sure a few students nearby could hear.

"Your waste? I don't why I would spend a day with an airheaded," and with each insult, Elphaba was passing a student. "bubble brained, idiotic playboy!"

Galinda and Pfanee scooched over to where the fight was going on. "This plan of yours worked awfully quickly," Pfanee hissed.

"That's fine with me," Galinda muttered back.

Fiyero didn't even bother unloading the boat as he stepped onto the docks, calling after her, "Go...go enjoy your books or something!" he was struggling to truly insult her, not wanting to hit on a soft spot of Elphaba's. But he did what he could to look mad enough, and made sure to look extra aggravated with Elphaba when he saw Galinda watching nearby.

"Rather hang with my books than be near you," Elphaba shouted, disappearing from the view of the dock as she headed back towards the dorm rooms at Shiz.

"Stay here," muttered Galinda, walking towards the prince. "Fiyero! Why, whatever happened!"

"I finally realized why no one dates her," he muttered, "what a mistake that was..." he complained, pretending he hadn't noticed who he was talking to. Finally looking up, Fiyero faked a smile at the sight of her, "Oh...hi," he grinned.

"Oh, Fiyero," Galinda said, shaking her head softly, "I could have warned you! But you went and you did something stupid..." The blonde turned on her heel. "And now you're all alone."

"Am I?" he asked urgently, taking her hand in his. "Galinda, I know I messed up, but...but I can't stop thinking about you. And ever since that kiss last night...please tell me I still have a chance to make it up to you!"

Galinda turned back to him, eyes sparkling maliciously. "I have absolutely no reason to take you back. You left me for an artichoke."

"And I regret it, more than anything in the world." He dropped down onto his knees, saying it loud enough for everyone in the vicinity to hear. "I'm sorry Galinda, I don't deserve you, but I hope you'll find the forgiveness in your heart to give me one more chance."

He's actually down on his knees. I could get used to this. "Do you promise me you'll be on your absolute best behavior, Fiyero?"

"Of course! Well, unless when you want me to misbehave..." he said with a raised eyebrow, knowing that was the kind of thing she would like to hear.

"Well, well, Fiyero. We'll see..." Galinda beamed at him. "Want to go to the Shiz Shack? Announce to the world that you've gotten your senses back?"

"Absolutely, gorgeous," he smiled, moving back to his feet and reaching for her hand.

Galinda let him take her hand, smiling at him confidently. "It's good to have you back, Fiyero."

"And same with you," he smiled as he led the way to the Shiz Shack, mentally running through his mind how he'd have enough time to hang out with Galinda, go get some studying done, and pay Elphaba a secret visit.
